Worth agreeing on before you meet
Condor Reverence
The Andean condor is sacred in Andean culture — it represents the Hanan Pacha (upper world) in the Andean cosmovision and is considered a messenger between the living and the gods. Watching the condors in respectful silence is appropriate. Do not throw objects or make excessive noise to attract them.
Pachamama & the Mountains
The Colca Valley communities maintain deep Andean spiritual traditions. Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (mountain spirits) are revered. The stone cairns (apachetas) on mountain passes are offerings — add a stone if you wish, never take one. Pouring a drop of your drink on the earth before drinking (ch'alla) honours Pachamama.
